He upped his route rate to 75 percent on Sunday and his target total held steady at five. Lane ran more routes and earned more opportunities than Rashod Bateman. It was his third NFL game. We're witnessing a changing of the guard in Baltimore.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Lane's rising route rate and target share over Bateman signal a Ravens receiving breakout.

Lane returned from a fractured wrist in Week 6 with 58% route rate and five targets; in Week 7, he upped his route rate to 75% and maintained five targets. The source notes Lane 'ran more routes and earned more opportunities than Rashod Bateman' in his third NFL game and calls this 'a changing of the guard in Baltimore.' With Lamar Jackson presumably returning next week, Lane should be in line for a breakout performance.
